STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND STATEMENT

STATE OF CALIFORNIA

STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND

California Law requires that, upon enrollment, a fee be assessed the institution in relation to the cost of tuition (Education Code Section 94944). These fees support the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF), a special fund established by the California Legislature to reimburse students who might otherwise experience a financial loss as a result of:

a)The closure of the institution

b)The Institution’s breach of anticipatory breach of the agreement for the course of instruction

c)A decline in the quality or value of the courses of instruction within the 30-day period before the institution’s closure.

Student Tuition Recovery Fund You must pay the state-imposed assessment for Student Tuition RecoveryFund (STRF) if all of the followingapplies to you:

1.You are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all of part of your tuition either by cash, guaranteed students loans, or personal loans, and

2. Your total charges are not paid by any third-party payer such as an employer, government program, or other payer unless you have a separate agreement to repay the third-party.

You are not eligible for protection from STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if either of the following applies

1. You are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program, or

2. Your total changes are paid by a third party, such as an employer, government program or other payer, and you have no separate agreement to repay the third party.

“The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic losses suffered by students in educational programs who are California residents, or are enrolled in residency program attending certain schools regulated by the Bureau for Postsecondary Education.

You may be eligible for STRF if you are a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:

  1. The school closed before the source of instruction was completed.
  2. The school’s failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for license fees or any other purpose, or to provide equipment or materials foe which a charge was collected within 180 days before the closure of the school.
  3. The school’s failure to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federally guaranteed student loan program as required by law or to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the school prior to closure in excess of tuition and other cost.
  4. There was a material failure to comply with the Act or the Division within 30-days before the school closed or, if the material failure began earlier than 30-days prior to closure, the period determined by the bureau.
  5. An inability after diligent efforts to prosecute, prove, and collect on a judgment against the institution for violation of the Act.”

However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security number or a taxpayer identification number.

It is important that enrollees keep a copy of any enrollment agreement, contract, or application to document enrollment; tuition receipts or canceled checks to document the total amount of tuition paid.
